The Untermag Revolution Creed

The AO Team here at IAO reviewed this creed and we are posting it for your approval. We are taking this seriously as this has the potential to stand for something real and important.

The Creed of the Das Untermag Revolution

We are the few and the underdogs. We do not need notoriety. We seek to gain knowledge and fight against mental repression caused by expensive marketing, hero icons and long held beliefs. We believe that there is a truth and that it should be sought out and embraced.

We are different because knowledge helps us to understand the line between paintball fantasy and reality where others think no line exists at all. The Revolution holds itself to higher standards. We do not allow our markers to be put down but we do not put down others markers. We seek to learn and to transfer that knowledge to others in a friendly way.

Our sign, “chuff chuff”, represents a point on the fantasy / reality line. This point moved when the LvL 10 changed the Automag. Long held beliefs have prevented this new truth from breaking into the mainstream. The Untermag Revolution was thus born. The sign is many things: a greeting between Revolution members—as they are among friends and a recognition of brotherhood telling the enlightened that you too seek knowledge above and beyond the mainstream. When directed toward an outsider, it is a signal that they do not wish to learn. We must accept the fact not all will join us.

Our symbol is the red star enclosed in a black circle. The circle represents unity, its color, black, shows that we are an underground community. The points on the red star represent all of the players that do not understand our creed. The points flow into the stars center showing that all are welcome to work with us in seeking to understand the truth. The red color represents that we are active in our communications with others both inside and outside the Revolution.

I like it. Regardless of what the PHN crew says - - - AO has been somewhat of an 'underground' movement for some time now. Primairly because of our group commitment to 'dispelling the myths' around painball technology.

we need to make this kind of exclusive, you know becasue its for like people that have been faithful to mags for a while... like we need to stop accepting members soon and if we get stickers or tshirts or whatever, they should only go to members...

Okay, now as for the sig logo floating around with the player in it ... THAT'S ME, holding my MiniMag. I did that one up this morning, but I really wasn't expecting anything like this to come out of it.

Now, Tom's post requested a red star/black circle, but I had previously done the sig graphic in the reverse before he'd posted the creed. So if anyone wants a new sig graphic, please give me a little while, I'm working on it.

I've got one done up, but this thing is HUGE ... so be patient while it loads. This link is for a 300DPI, 7" x 9" JPEG - I'm talking poster print size.
